$10 for the goggles and the carts. All my money had been spent on beer. I will never speak of this again.
Well, I'm sure I'd want to get drunk after something like that too.

I once saw a Vectrex in a thrift shop for about $15 Cdn.
The controller was clearly damaged and I don't know if it was actually in working order. Unfortunately, I had no way to get it back home so I had to leave it

No. The only way you're getting it for cheap is if you luck out and find one at a thrift store.

With a VecRAM, do you have to constantly have it hooked up to the computer? Or will it retain downloaded stuff so that you can, for example, take it over to a friends house?
Although multicarts are cool, I'd still rather have a collection of original cartridges. Somehow, it seems more authentic.

The original VecRAM cart has to have the Vectrex powered up when the program transfer from PC occurs. I use my palmtop to transfer programs to the Vectrex .. so portability is not a problem. (I type, compile and transfer programs to my Vectrex from my palmtop.)
The new VecRAM II cart to be released soon will store several programs for portability. So it is a mini multicart.
I have a large collection of original Vectrex carts .. but I never pull them out.
I have a large collection of Atari 2600/7800 carts .. but I never pull them out as I have the Cuttle Cart II.

If I knew how to program the vectreex, I'd see to it that Star Wars would make it to the console.

It WAS, actually...well a homebrew, anyway:
www.classicgamecreations.com
It's on Vecmania, I think (need to get that...), called Star Fire Spirits. You can play it on the Vectrex emulator, if you've got it (I think there's only one). I heard it's pretty tough though, tougher than the arcade game.
